Description from the seller
USSR under construction – Union soviétique en construction. Year XIII – 1949 – Bound issues (illustrated propaganda magazine)
Exceptional collection of Soviet illustrated reviews from the immediate post-war period, dedicated to reconstruction, industrialization, and the cultural power of the USSR under Stalin's regime.
UdSSR in Construction ('L’URSS en construction') is one of the most famous Soviet visual propaganda magazines. Published in several languages (including German, as presented here), it is distinguished by spectacular iconography, large-format photographs, sometimes in color, and an extremely meticulous layout designed to impress an international readership.
The year 1949 (13th year) is particularly significant; it corresponds to the period of massive reconstruction of the USSR after World War II and to the peak of the Stalinist cult.
Official portraits and symbolic staging of Joseph Stalin, major industrial and energy achievements.
Urban and architectural reconstruction
Cultural life, music, conferences, popular education.
Soviet monumental projects (including the future large towers of Moscow)
Photographic reports of exceptional quality, typical of Soviet propaganda aesthetics.
The photographs alternate between black and white and color, with a strong graphic impact, now highly appreciated by collectors, historians, decorators, and enthusiasts of 20th-century political design.
Publisher's hardcover binding, titled in gold 'USSR'.
Well-preserved interiors
Minor signs of use, small freckles or possible scuffs, all consistent with the item's age.
Solid, well complete ensemble for the year presented. A few pages are missing.
Iconic review of Soviet propaganda, History of communism.
Political photography and graphic design
Soviet architecture and urban planning
Interior decoration (framed pages)
Complete or bound copies are significantly rarer than individual issues.
Large illustrated format 40cm x 30cm, ideal for display or consultation.
A leading historical collection object, at the crossroads of photography, architecture, ideology, and 20th-century history. 40cm x 30cm. Very heavy.
Perfect for collectors, museums, decorators, or enthusiasts of Soviet propaganda objects.
Photos are an integral part of the description.
